Homeschool Happenings: The Civil War
Fort Snelling closed in 1858, but the attack on Fort Sumter in South
Carolina just three years later, caused Governor Alexander Ramsey to
re-open Fort Snelling. Fort Snelling became the entry and training point
for all of the 25,000 Minnesota volunteers who fought in the Civil War.
Learn about their experiences, technology of the period, the war at home
with the Dakota, and even how slaves at Fort Snelling in the 1830s
influenced the lead up to the Civil War.
Fee: $5 per day, $4 per day MHS members.
